B-ROCKA!

i used to stan for Brandy Norwood back in the day. I still do, kinda. To me she'll always be one of the greatest R&B artists out there.

Not too long ago she posted a youtube video of herself singing "Somewhere over the rainbow" a capella in her bathroom. It was a hit! Everyone loved it! She just posted a video of herself singing "Change is gonna come" a capella and i'm FLOORED again.

So, to be random . . . and breathe life back into this blog . . . here's her latest video . . .

Do you have a favorite artist? Share!

I'm not a Good Student . ..

. . . but I play one 3 times a week.


Too bad I'm not as good at playing a good blogger, lol.

In short, my first 3 or so weeks of school have been great. I've already been overwhelmed, stressed, afraid, doubtful, hopeful, excited, anxious, giddy, and numb . . . but most of all, I've been writing! And that's whats most important to me.

No long essays. No research papers. No reader responses.
Just writing centered around my CRAFT. I definitely appreciate that.
The reading has been okay, I try to stay up on each assignment but in the event that i find myself behind on my reading I do my best to discuss what I DO know . . . so they won't look back later & say, "B didn't say anything all class . . . I wonder if she read?" lol. Oldest trick in the book but it saves me some time (and face)
Time, time, time . . . seems like I have time to do EVERYTHING but what i'm supposed to do. I have a habit of pushing things off until the last minute but now that I'm working and going to school, I really need to make better decisions with my time.
I started off strong . . . I would come right home and do my work/reading. I need to get back to that.
Well, that's all for now . . . tune in next time for adventures of a first time TA!
ciao.

Grab a hard hat and watch your step . . .




With the new school year approaching, I'm making some changes here at B Write Back . . . the first being a name change!

I've decided to keep the blog name simple and go with the url and my screen name, Bsquared86. I thought that a eponymous blog would be kind of wierd when I first started off but now that the blog is about more than just my journey to grad school . . . it seems fitting! (don't worry . . . the URL is the same so your bloglists and other links are not affected).


If you haven't noticed, the color scheme has been revamped . . . no more black, pink, purple, and turquoise. I wanted to brighten it up and make it fun. I've decided to go with a Bumble Bee theme of black, yellow, and white w/ red accents. The bee in the header is inside of a square . . . get it? Bee-squared? *insert goofy laugh*


So, stay tuned . . . more changes to come . . . more posts to come . . . more Bsquared86!
